  • Patent number: 7485373
    Abstract: Tissue products, such as bath tissue and facial tissue, comprising an improved lubricating formulation are disclosed. The lubricating formulation is applied to at least one surface of the tissue product and is stable at elevated temperatures, remains on or near the surface of the tissue product prior to use, and readily transfer the user=s skin upon use. The lubricating formulations described herein have a melt point viscosity of from about 5000 cPs to about 1,000,000 cps, and a process temperature viscosity of from about 50 cPs to about 50,000 cPs. The lubricating formulations comprise an emollient, a structurant, a rheology enhancer, and other optional components.

  • Patent number: 6896766
    Abstract: Paper products treated on two surfaces with a liquid resistant composition are disclosed. The paper products can be, for instance, bath tissues, facial tissues, paper towels, and industrial wipers. The liquid resistant compositions can include any additive that provides benefits to the product. For instance, the liquid resistant composition can be a softener containing a hydrophobic additive. In one embodiment, the hydrophobic additive is a polysiloxane. In accordance with the present invention, the water resistant composition is applied to each surface according to a pattern. Each of the patterns includes treated and untreated areas. The patterns are positioned on the paper product such that untreated areas on one surface are in correspondence with the treated areas on the other surface of the sheet.
